Introducing “Herschel Walker: Wrong for Georgia”
May 25, 2022
Today, the Democratic Party of Georgia is rolling out “Herschel Walker: Wrong for Georgia,” which will highlight for Georgians that the Trump-tapped nominee is not who he says he is and not up for the job of representing Georgia in the U.S. Senate.
“Every report and every scandal that emerges about Herschel Walker reinforces why he has no place in the Senate,” said Dan Gottlieb, spokesman for the Democratic Party of Georgia. “For voters, the conclusion will be simple: Walker is not who he says he is, not up for the job, and shouldn’t be representing Georgians in the Senate. Plain and simple, Walker is wrong for Georgia.”
Georgians are already learning that Herschel Walker is not up for the job, not who he says he is, and can’t be trusted to represent Georgia. Walker enters the general election damaged by months of scrutiny on his outrageous and false claims:
